THE NEW BONANZA.
Victoria at the wild West show.

rroIn the LONDON Daily News. May IL
The queen spent an hour at the American exhi-
billion at Earl'S court yesterday afternoon. The
visit was strictly private and extraordinary pre-
cautions appeared to be taken to exclude the pub
lie and the representatives of the press from the
Wild West show, which her majesty, OF her own
accord. came to see. The program was to q great
extent that described In connection with the
WITH what is termed in the program a grand
professional review, in which the Indians enter
with their chiefs I, In groups according to their
the last TO dash in, and, reigning his gray horse
back upon his launches. he took on his broad
brimmed hat and bowed low in front of the royal
box; and then, at his word of command the red men
the MexicanS and the cowboys Scampered off at
full speed, leaving the large circular space de-
serted. The scene from the royal box was at all
times full and complete, with the painted back
ground representing wild mountains and cragS.
and good deal OF star and stripe and red and
blue blankets added when the Indians who were
not on duty were grouped about ready for action.
Behind all, nevertheless, rose the prOsa1c chimney
pots OF West Brompton, and upon the housetOps
might be seen men and boys perched like rocks In
a tree to get what Scanty view they might of the
proceedings. The Red Indian Company, We ina
gine could not fail to look upon the dre:ry acre
age OF emptiness presented by the grand stand as
a very different spectacle to the immense and en-
thusiastic crowds that filled the seats and ap-
plauded the actors on the opening day. They
however, went through their performances with
their customary dash; the buck jumping the
tricks Of the mules, the attack upon the Dead
wood coach, the war dance (when the Indians
are grouped in circle with the women and
children in the CENTER, the mock buffalo hunt
and the attack on the log cabin being the princi-
pal items OF the entertainment OF the hour which
ner majesty witnessed. At the conclusion the
band played ''God Save the Queen" and Buffalo
Bill was duly presented by the Marquis OF Lorne
After the queen had cOnversed a little while with
the gallant colonel. the chief '.Red Shirt" was sent
for and also presented to her majesty. Two or
three Squaws with papOOSe5 fastened to their
backs passed also in review. Her majesty was
accompanied by Prince and Princess Henry Of
Battenberg. the Duchess OF Athol, Gen. PonsOnby
Sir John Cowell, Lord Latham, and other officers
OF the royal household. Some OF the ordinary
visitors TO the exhibition, who seemed to be un-
aware OF the arrangements which had been sud-
denly made for the afternoon, were not a little
dlspleased on finding that performance which
they had hoped To witness In the company of
thousands OF their fellows was confined to mere
handful Of spectators.

Esquirnau JOe's Fate.
SUPPOSED TO BE DROWNED OFF CAPE JALEBERT-AN
EvENTFUL LIFE.
From the New York Herald.
The body Of the brave little Esquimau who acted
as guide and Interpreter on SO many Arctic expora-
tons is now supposed to be lying beneath the icy
waters between Cape Jalebert and Marble Island
The news was brought to New London by Captain
Spicer and there told to his employer, Mr.. j. c.
Morrison, of New York, through whose instrument
tality Esquimau Joe, or Joe Eberblng, first came
TO public notice.
Joe, his father-in-law, and his two brothers-In-
law left Cape Jalebert late last summer In whale
boat with deer meat to trade with some whalers
anchored OF Marble Island. No tidings have ever
been received OF the boat or her occupants and
hence 1t is concluded that all were lost in one OF
ern seas, carrying destruction to everything that
lies In their path: Capt. Spicer was not able to

Joe was in England for the second time In 1875
and went with Capt. Young on an expedition to
look for traces OF Franklin. The ships met SO
much thick ice that they returned to England in

From the New York Times.
Prince William Is still young man. He Is In his
Goth year. 1t Is difficult, therefore, to say what he
will become. His character, however, seems al
ready formed, and it IS undeniable that he gives
promise OF being distinguished king, II not, in
deed, great ruler. He differs entirely from his
father in that he has will OF his own and deter
mination OF purpose which nothing can thwart.
The Crown Prince is easily swayeu; his household

are thrust upon him, against his will fire.

OF his years or opportunities would the gaietes Of

the rank and file with enthusiasm and commands

other respect assumes the same duties which
would fall to officer in the same station but Of

Along the west the low light dies,
The holy stars begin to shine;
At rest from toll, we feel upon
Our weary brows the benson
The sweet air breathes Of peace divine
This is the hour for tranquil thought.
The silent spirit seeks release;
In the deep stiffness unsung song
And prayer unspoken pure and strong
Attune our hearts with natures peace.
A finger on our lips is laid
We listen deeper than all speech
Behold, below our lives calm
That holds through turmoil and alarm
The blessedness We strive to reach.
